The Hindu festival of Tihar runs from October 19-24.
During the dazzling festival of lights which pays tribute to Lakshmi, Goddess of wealth, crows, cows, and dogs are worshipped. Legend has it that a dog guards the entrance to the underworld, so people pray to dogs to guard their houses and divert destruction.
Dogs are then rewarded with a tasty meal.
